what was the point of this character?
To make you like the movie, since he's the best character.
And to allow things to be explained to the audience without coming off as exposition I suppose.
>>79806606
You need someone to explain what the fuck is going on and a natural way to do it is having a character "from the outside". Harry Potter had Harry Potter in this place, and most viewers remember those movies, but Fantastic Beasts has different enough setting to confuse them at least in some parts.
>>79806606
It allows the audience to self insert into the movie.
>A source tells the paper that, in a moment of frustration, De Niro boiled over while bickering with Hightower in public at a Manhattan bar, telling her, “I wouldn’t have to keep making s--tty movies if you didn’t spend all my money!”
>In recent years, comedians such as Joel McHale have teased De Niro over his choice of roles, some of which — such as those in “Dirty Grandpa,” “Grudge Match” and “The Intern” — may not live up to his status as the multi-Oscar-winning actor from “Raging Bull,” “Taxi Driver” and “The Godfather: Part II.”

He bought her a coffee company but it's a disaster
>Trouble is brewing over Grace Hightower’s coffee company. We’re told that her husband, Robert De Niro — who is a major investor in the firm — is steamed because the 5-year-old Grace Hightower & Coffees of Rwanda brand is turning into a money pit.
>The New York Post reports that Hightower has frustrated business associates — as well as the legendary actor — by dithering over simple decisions, and “changing her mind about how to run the business depending on who she spoke to last.”

Is that the new season 2 monster?
>>79802571
No one cares. Post Millie.
You have to admit this is perfect casting. She carries the show.
she has a weak supporting cast
i want her to carry me into her boodwah and make me her pusy slave!
>>79802347
She did carry for me for sure, for about a season and a half. But it just got too much, the bad supporting cast, the woeful writing, the I can't even dialouge and the glacial pacing.

Reminder that Jenna suddenly dropped her Blackpool accent and has been affecting an RP one ever since she got cast in Doctor Who. Your waifu is fake.
>>79795088
RP?
>>79795109
RP = Received Pronunciation. The artificial sort-of-upper-middle-class-London accent that everyone on the BBC used to do but nobody does anymore.
Is Youtube more relevant than traditional television among the youth of today? Will we see a shift towards Youtube-personality style content in the mainstream or will conventional programming stay around for decades to come? What are your thoughts on this /tv/?
Ian makes more important and truthful content than any major news service.
YouTube drama is the lowest form of art, even lower than video games.
>>79789407
both are shit.
if you watch any youtube "comedians" or "news" channels you have shit taste and should honestly just neck it.
>tfw she finds out you watch Riverdale for the twinks
she's so peefect, I cant stop looking at her
The show is so bland, don't understand why it's "in" with kids
Letterboxd thread: post profile and discuss what you have recently watched
QOTD: what is your favourite movie to watch on a Saturday morning?
RIP. Think i'll watch rewatch branded to kill tonight (and maybe first watch Tsigoineruwaizen if i have time)

Weird mix of films recently.
I thought Safe was wonderfully shot and looked gorgeous, but couldn't for the life of me understand what everyone sees in it. Is anyone a big fan of it here?
Not pictured is the 70s western Bad Company starring a young Jeff Bridges. Great take on the old west, sort of posits it as almost post-apocalyptic in how miserable and desperate the land can make people between pockets of civilisation.

>We got a great twist for this film...Bucky actually killed Tony's Parents
>thats great...one question...how will the audience know Tony had parents???
>...what?
>Why would they know he had parents and that he would be upset that they were murdered?
>Well the audience would just assume that...I guess
>SLOPPY WRITING!!!! We need to let them know he has parents and miss them
>Well maybe he can talk to steve about his parents
>SHOW DONT TELL SHOW DONT TELL SHOW DONT TELL
>okay...maybe we have a little flashback to a young Tony and his parents?
>FLASHBACK!??! what the fuck is a flaaashBackk?
>well it takes place in the past
>people wont get it...Give Tony a Hologram of his parents
>wait...why would he have that?
>Yeah..he has a photorealistic holographic recording of an event in the 80s with his parents...and he's showing it to..get this...a RANDOM ROOM OF COLLEGE STUDENTS

Taylor Swift vs Katy Perry
how does it end?
Hopefully with them scissoring each other.
Katy Perry has seen too much for her to be beaten right now.
>>79810110
are you serious? katys left tit weighs more than swift
>make movie about gay black kid bullied in Trump's America
>win all the awards
why am I not surprised about this? I miss when films won because they were good films, not because of white guilt
>>79809898
>white guilt
The movie's barely about white guilt you dummie. Hell, more of it is spent chastising black culture for being an awful environment for gays or people that don't behave nigger-ishly to grow up in.
>>79809898
You didn't watch the movie.
There are no white people in Moonlight, no one even talks about them, only in cafe in the third act and you only see their backs. It's blacks bulling black beta because he's gay and a wimp.
Maximum what can trigger you is that succinct "WE WUZ KANGZ" from Ali but that was more inspirational for Chrion. Fuck off.
>>79810002
It's not even about the movie, don't you remember #OscarsSoWhite?
